Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to novel nitrogen free hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans scavengers and to compositions containing the scavengers.
  • the present invention also pertains to the use of the scavengers for scavenging hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans in hydrocarbon containing compositions and in water-containing compositions.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for scavenging hydrogen sulphide and/or mercaptans comprising contacting a media such as crude oils, fuels or natural gas or drilling fluids with the scavenging composition of the invention.
  • Hydrogen sulphide is a colourless and fairly toxic, flammable and corrosive gas which also has a characteristic odour at a very low concentration. Hydrogen sulphide dissolves in hydrocarbon and water streams and is also found in the vapour phase above these streams and in natural gas. In drilling subterranean wells, notably those for oil or gas, hydrogen suphide can be present in substantial amounts. The drilling fluid may drive the hydrogen sulphide to the surface.
  • the hydrogen sulphide emissions can therefore be a nuisance to workers operating in the production, transport, processing and storage of oil products such as crude oil, asphalt, Liquid Petroleum Gas, Heavy Fuel Oil, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel. Hydrogen sulphide may also react with hydrocarbon components present in fuel. It would therefore be desirable for the workers' comfort and safety to reduce or even eliminate the hydrogen sulphide emissions during the manipulation of said products.
  • Triazines e.g. N-alkyl-triazines
  • have a nitrogen content between 18-33 mol% which may cause concerns related to residual amines.
  • N-alkyl-triazines are hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trimethyl-l, 3, 5-triazine (MMA-Triazine) and hexahydro- 1,3, 5-tris(hydroxyethyl)-l, 3, 5-triazine (MEA-Triazine) contains high nitrogen content. Also on reaction with hydrogen sulphide gas, they produce methylamine and monoethanolamine as side products, respectively. Methylamine is a gaseous, flammable, highly corrosive with low flash point (-30°C) low molecular weight amine. Methylamine also causes top of line (TOL) corrosion.
  • TOL top of line
  • MEA-Triazine has identified with high risk of fouling and categorized as fatal by inhalation in European legislation. This is both an environmental and a process priority to replace this product with non-triazines and non-fouling compounds to overcome the drawbacks associated with the existing chemistries across the globe.
  • the formed amines can stabilize emulsions and deteriorate desalter performance. They can also contribute to chloride salt formation in distillation towers, with subsequent increase in corrosion and fouling potential.
  • Another drawback from triazine is its primary reaction product, dithiazine, which can undergo further reaction to form an amorphous dithazine and can also contribute to deposition and equipment fouling.
